1t is said that a perfectly healthy and
active man, when in good condition,
should weigh 2 IA pounds for every inch
OF his height. OF course many apparent
ly healthy men are heavier than this
rule would indicate.

How to Ship Fish Eggs.

The principal points necessary for the
successful shipment of fish eggs on long
journey are care and skill in packing them,
and also Judgement and experience to de-
Iermine when the eggs are in the proper
condition for the trip. The eggs must also
be packed so as to maintain as even a
temperature as possible, and also withstand
the jars incident to railway and steamship
trayel. A few degrees of heat or cold is
liable TO affect them, and a sudden jar,
such, for example, as the dropping Of the
package, would be almost certain 10 result
in the death of all the eggs.
The temperature of the eggs should re-
main as near that of the water out of which
they were taken as possible, The oya best
able to stand transportation are of fish bee
longing to the salmon family, viz, the
salmon, speckled trout, salmon trout or
lake trout, land-locked salmon, and The
like. The eggs of the whitelish also stand
TRANSFORMATION well. This ability to stand
transportation is chiAy from the fact that
they are fall spawning fish and require a
long period for hatchinG. This period
varies from seventy to one hundred and
lhirty-liye or or one hundred and forty
days, according to the temperature of the
water; while the eggs OF spring spawning
fish, as shad, herring, pike, bass, etc, re-
quire only from three to ten days, the
temperature of the water also affecting
them; the warmer it is the SOONER they
hatch,

The most important point to get the
value OF your money is not to be induced
to enter the small stores; TO limit your
buying to the dry goods stores of the
Louvre and Bon Marche, for they keep al
most everything that Il woman can think
Of. TIL price is marked oil each article.
and always put at the lowest rate. AL
most everything lies on counters and
tables, so you do not have the worry of
asking for things. You are not bothered
with oficious clerks who try to persuade
you to get one thing when you want an
other. When you ave received the goods
at home, and after having examined them,
no matter after what length of time you
change your mind you can return the
goods, and without the asking of one ques-
ton those stores refund you the money.
No matter II the goods have been cut In
the store, so 1t has not been touched or
cut by you or been worn, the money is inn
medintely handed bach to you, while in
small stores you are sure to be imposed
upon. Those shopkeepers have two prices,
one for their own countrymen and one for
foreigners, especially for Americans. They
imagine that every American possesses a
chicken that lays golden eggs, and that
they are entitled to as many of them as
they can rob from the nest In their pock-
cts. Beware Of being cheated, so go to
the Louvre or Bon Marche for all you
want.-Paris Cor Brooklyn Eagle.

His liver is ailing terribly. AS a result

You ave often read OF the cedars of
Lebanon. Some OF them still remain. The
grove from which King Solomon brought
so much lumber now consists OF some 400
trees, about three-fourths OF a mile in cir
conference, partly old trees and partly
young ones. Learned travellers think thai
most Of the trees in the grove may be 300
years old and several between the ages of
400 and 800 years. There are twelve trees
whose age is Observation-Disclosures standing
very near each other; three more n little
further on, and two on the northern edge
OF the grove. The largest of these two is
SO feet In circumference-following the
sinuosities OF the bark; one of the others
measures 40 feet. These trees are more
remarkable for their girth than stature,
their height hardly exceeding so feet.
Their age is ~yariously estimated. The
rules by which botanists determine the age
OF trees are not applicable to them, for
their stems have ceased to grow in regular
concentric rings. The Arabs, of all crecds,
have a traditional generation for these
trees.-Philadelphia Times.

THE supreme court of Illinois has sus-
tanned the lower court in its rulings re-
garding the anarchists, and those gentry
will undoubtedly enjoy the opportunity Of
becoming martyrs to the cause on the
llth Of November. In some interested
quarters it was claimed that no verdict
would have been found against the an
archists but for popular clamor. Now
that the cases have been reviewed by a
judicial tribunal which should be above
being Influenced by unwarranted popular
preiudicos, it will go far to remove what
ever tinge of doubt may have existed in
favor of these red handed murderers.
America is a free country, but the license
claimed by the anarchists and socialists is
repugnant to the genius of our institu-
tons, and no better warning could be
published to men of all nations than the
summary hanging of the heroes OF the
Haymarket riots in Chicago.

A witty clown, by name Durow, has just

for carrying jokes too far. He was giving

animal took up from the ground II num-
Der OF Russian coins, including imperials
and small silver n copper coins When,
however, some rouble notes were thrown
down the pig refused to pick them up,
even though whipped. Great amusement
was caused by this discriminating act,
and 1t was intensified as a voice cried
from the gallery to the clown, you
blockhead, If the finance minister could
not raise the paper rouble in four months,
how can You expect u pig to do itF"
Though n favorite with st. Petersburg
audiences, the clown received orders to
leave the city the following day.-Pall
